  • Deletion: Request deletion of your account and associated data
  • Portability: Request a copy of your data in a machine-readable format
  • Opt-out: Unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time

Facebook and Instagram Integration

If you choose to connect your Instagram account, we use Facebook Login for Business to let you publish videos you create in our app directly to your own Instagram Business or Creator account. When you connect, we access:

  • Your basic Facebook profile information
  • The list of Facebook Pages you manage, so we can find the Page connected to your Instagram account
  • Basic profile info (username, ID) of the connected Instagram Business or Creator account
  • A Page access token, which we store so we can publish on your behalf

We use this information only to identify your connected Instagram account and to publish videos to it when you explicitly click "Post to My Instagram." We do not post, read, or modify any other content on your Facebook Page or Instagram account, and we do not use this data for advertising or share it with third parties.

You can disconnect your Instagram account at any time from your Account page, or by removing our app's access in your Facebook settings. Disconnecting deletes the stored access token from our systems. If you remove our app via Facebook, we are notified automatically and delete the associated credentials.

YouTube Integration

If you choose to connect your YouTube channel, we use Google OAuth to let you publish videos you create in our app directly to your own YouTube channel. When you connect, we request:

  • Read-only access to your YouTube channel information, so we can identify which channel is connected
  • Upload access, so we can publish videos to your channel on your behalf

We store an access token and refresh token so we can publish videos when you explicitly choose to post. We do not read, modify, or delete any of your existing YouTube videos, comments, or channel settings, and we do not use this data for advertising or share it with third parties.

You can disconnect your YouTube channel at any time from your Account page, or by removing our app's access in your Google account settings. Disconnecting deletes the stored tokens from our systems.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy on this page and update the "Last Updated" date.
